Kara Lawson Basketball Camp will be an engaging, fast-paced, and educational four-day camp designed to instill the values, work ethic, and skills that have defined Kara Lawson’s successful basketball career and leadership at Duke. Campers will participate in two games per day with their team, including the unforgettable experience of playing several games in the iconic Cameron Indoor Stadium.
In addition to competitive gameplay, campers will have the opportunity to enhance their skills through top-tier instruction from experienced coaches in key areas such as ball handling, defense, rebounding, and shooting. Off the court, campers will learn from Duke Women’s Basketball staff about what it takes to excel as an elite basketball player, including strength and conditioning, nutrition, and mental preparation – the core elements that help athletes reach their full potential.

Meals
Campers are served lunch daily in Hall of Honor. There are a wide variety of healthy food options offered at each meal. This facility is peanut free (with the exception of individually packaged peanut butter).
Hall of Honor is staffed by the same catering company that services the Duke Student Athletics throughout the school year, so they are accustomed to accommodate various dietary restrictions and food allergies.
Cancellation Policy
If you cancel more than two weeks before the start of your camp session, you are eligible to receive a camp credit for the following summer. Please note that $100 of the camp tuition, plus the online processing fee, is non-refundable under all circumstances.
Camp credits are subject to availability at the time of registration for the following summer's camp. If camp tuition increases, you will be responsible for paying the difference between the current tuition rate and the tuition paid at the time of your original registration.
Once a camp credit has been selected, it is final. You may not later request a partial refund in place of the credit.
**Kara Lawson Basketball Camps are open to any and all registrants (limited only by number, age/grade and gender).**
